Li Chun We may not be familiar with his name, but if we want to mention the famous Zhao Zhouqiao, it must be well known.
Zhao Zhouqiao was built 1400 years ago, which is one of the wonders in the architectural history of China and even the world. Li Chun is the builder of Zhao Zhouqiao. Zhao Zhouqiao, with its unique open-shouldered arch structure, left a deep impression in the history of bridge architecture in the world, and Li Chun also raised the ancient architectural technology of China to a new level by himself.
The second Cai Xiang, as we are familiar with, is called together with Su Shi, Huang Tingjian and Mi Fei. They are the four people with the highest achievements in calligraphy in Song Dynasty. But in addition to his achievements in calligraphy, Cai Xiang also has an identity, that is, a bridge architect. He presided over the construction of Luoyang Bridge in Quanzhou, which was the earliest cross-sea beam stone bridge in China discovered by 1998.
Thirdly, Mao Yisheng is a famous modern bridge expert in China. When it comes to Mao Yisheng, it is inevitable to talk about Qiantang River Bridge. Before the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Mao Yisheng was appointed to preside over the construction of Qiantang River Bridge.
In order to build the Qiantang River Bridge, Mao Yisheng ignored the danger of Japanese planes in the sky and whether the construction team had good equipment and rich experience in bridge construction, but he and his workmates thought day and night to overcome the problems in their work and finally broke the rumor that foreign experts asserted that China could not build its own modern bridge. Mao Yisheng turned a new page in the history of modern bridges in China, but then Mao Yisheng blew up the Qiantang River Bridge, which had just been opened to traffic for 89 days, for the sake of national interests.
